“Letting Go Using the Ancient Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu” will be the topic of a presentation at the Emerald Coast Meditation Society on Thursday, Nov. 3. The talk and demonstration will be given by Adele Leas, who has taught JSJ classes in many countries and is the author of "Jin Shin Jystsu for Your Animal Companion."
The ECMS meets at 6:30 p.m. at 480 N. Co. Hwy. 393, Santa Rosa Beach, one-half mile north of Hwy. 98. The meeting, open to the public without charge, begins with 30 minutes of silent meditation.
One of the basic truths of JSJ—a gentle, hands-on approach to harmonizing body, mind and spirit—is that we are never in disharmony because of what we lack but rather because of what we have not let go of, says Leas. She adds that harmony is accomplished through simple exercises combining conscious breathing and applying the hands to specific areas of the body where toxins and tensions are held.
JSJ uses 26 "safety energy locks" along energy pathways in our bodies. When a path becomes blocked, Leas says, "the resulting stagnation can disrupt the local area and eventually disharmonize the complete path of energy flow. Holding these energy locks in combination can bring balance to mind, body, and spirit." It is a gentle art, she says, that "facilitates the reduction of everyday tension and stress."
Leas discovered JSJ in 1989 when she experienced extreme disease and weakness, and learned how to heal herself with JSJ. She now divides her time between New Orleans and Destin.
She asks people to bring a blanket or sleeping bag to stretch out on.
The ECMS is an ecumenical group open to anyone. It meets on the first and third Thursdays. The evening will end around 8 p.m. with a short guided meditation. Anyone who would like meditation instruction should come at 6:15 p.m. Questions? Contact Nancy James, nancyjames@embarqmail.com.
